Delivery Limitations Not Working

[logan5]

Hi all,

 

I have a number of banners running on my site. Last night I added some delivery limitations so that a few of the banners won't appear in a couple of other sections in the site.

 

For example, I have 3 rules set up on affected banners:

 

Site Page URL does not contain  "www.{sitename}.co.uk/buy/"

OR

Site Page URL does not contain  "www.{sitename}.co.uk/news/"

OR

Site Page URL does not contain  "www.{sitename}.co.uk/wheretobuy/"

 

 

 

However, it doesn't appear to be working as the banners are still showing in those sections.

 

Have I configured it correctly or is something amiss ?

 

Thanks

 

(using latest version and was a fresh install in Jan)

Hi,

   Once you set the delivery limitations, just clear the folder var/cache. Also check to the file and folder permissions.

Hi elizarao,

 

Thanks for your reply. There are a lot of files in the var/cache folder, do I delete all of them ?

 

There is also a {site}_mergedDeliveryFunctions.php file in this folder?

 

Thanks

deliverycache_* are the ones used by the delivery engine. By default the cache lifetime is 20m so if your problem isn't solved by now, then the issue is not caching (unless the files are not writable). What type of invocation code are you using?

Hi Matteo,

 

We are using javascript, although I don't know if this is significant, the developers have not added any code to insert a random number : 

 

{domain}/revive-adserver/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=1&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=a3c0bc08' border='0' alt='' /

 

 

Thanks.

I just noticed. You need AND conditions over there

Doh!  Sorry about that....(back to Maths school ;-)

Our client has sent us a tag for a pre-roll.  It checks out fine.

 

The problem is that we need to serve this pre-roll to a number of sites.  So we entered the tag into a new campaign on our Revive server.  But so far we have not been able to use the format suggested by one of the forum users to generate a VAST tag that works on the VAST Ad Tester.

 

Can someone give me an example of a VAST tag that we can generate for the Revive ad server?

 

Thanks.
